Hello everyone and welcome to NewTek Tuesday Tutorials my name is Richard Evans make sure
that you like comment and subscribe. Now today I would like to show you how to control the previous
function of the TriCaster with a control panel. So Previz allows you to pre-visualize a composition
for either your program row or your mix effects without having to overwrite any of the current
settings a virtual sandbox for you to play around in and create something cool. So you can also use
pre-existing configurations and copy them into Previz to make changes then paste from Previz
into your mix effects or program with just a few keystrokes using the control surface gives you a
physical control of this and makes setting up your shots extremely easy. So let's dive in and take
a look. Alright so I'm going to start off in the TriCaster TC1 interface and I currently have mix
effect number two punched up on my program output right now and the configuration that I currently
have of mix effect number two is I have a quad box going on here using my four layered set and then
I've positioned my different inputs in certain sections of the screen so that I can have them all
lined up nice and pretty here and as you've seen in previous videos it's been kind of a struggle
for me to go through and set up a quad box looking nice and perfect just to get everything lined up
can kind of be a pain. So what I want to do let's say that in my particular broadcast that I'm going
to do today is I want to have my mix effect number two set up to be where I have my inputs 2 3 4 and
5 as my different inputs on this particular mix effect but let's say I want another shot
that's using the same positioning of that mix effect but with different inputs in it.
So the easiest way to do that and that way I can switch between them and use them however I want
and the easiest way to do that is to send those particular configurations over to Previz. So I
can pre-visualize what that shot's going to look like. All right and then I can copy it from there,
do some adjustments and then go ahead and paste it somewhere else like for example mix effect number
three. Okay so to do that let's go ahead and move over to my control panel and show you how
to do that. So here's our control panel here. Now the first thing that I want to do is I'm going to
leave my bottom stripe just doing my regular old show here and then I want to have my top stripe
control what I'm going to be sending to Previz. All right so to do that I'll hold down delegate
stripe and select mix effect number two. All right that's good to go and now you'll see that I have
mix effect number two over here and then I have my different shots layered up however I need to here.
All right so so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy the settings from mix effect number
two and throw them over to Previz and to do that looking on the control panel you'll see that I
have an option right here it's also down here as well depending if you want to do this for your
main mixer or if you want to just have your your bottom stripe be a different mix effect however
you want to do it here you can assign those via here or up here and I'm going to do it up here
just because that's the way that my particular workflow that's how I like to do it. All right so
I'm going to copy this over to Previz by clicking two so this will send those settings to Previz
and let's go ahead and click that and if we look back over on the interface now you'll see
that Previz is set up with my particular shot layout already done so now what I want
to do is I'm going to say delegate stripe and now let's select Previz.
All right and now Previz is up here for me to go through and start to mess around with.
All right so now what I want to do is I want to have my layer a the the top layer here let's make
that a completely different input. So I'm just going to switch things around to have a different
show going on here. So I'm going to select on my layer A, let's do input number three and for layer
B let's do input number four and let's go ahead and I'm going to move over to my C layer here
so i'll click C and now I can select five for that and let's go to layer D by clicking D here and
that will assign the bottom row to d and let's let's select input 7 so this will be my guy on
bike. All right so now that is lined up and it's pretty much good to go so now what I want to do is
copy the settings from Previz and send them over to mix effect number three so let's go ahead
and I'm going to say delegate stripe click on delegate stripe click mix effect number three. All
right and now I'm on mix effect number three and on the interface right now there is nothing there.
Okay so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to paste from Previz to mix effect 3 simply
by clicking on from on our Previz option here and check this out let's go ahead and do that
hit from and now you'll see that I have the settings that were on Previz now pasted over into
mix effects number three. So now I can go through on my switcher and let's go pull up mix effect
number three on my preview here and now I can then swap between those shots and use them just as I
would a normal regular everyday show so a really good way for you to have a tactile feel and use
your control panel to its fullest ability and use Previz to play around with different settings and
change different mix effects without having to go through and destroy a mix effect
that you're working on and again you can use this for both your mix effects or your main
switcher it's kind of up to you just get in there start pushing some buttons and have some fun.
So as you can see using a control panel to control your Previz is super useful. Now if
